South Yorkshire Police say two officers will be spoken to after they were filmed playing crazy golf during a call out in Sheffield.

A video's emerged of them joining in a game in a house after they reportedly arrived to shut down a suspected lockdown party there.

A female officer is seen trying to putt a golf ball into a glass in a living room.

The force tell us their conduct wasn't in line with its expectations and the officers will be spoken to so they can learn from the incident.

A spokesperson for South Yorkshire Police said:
